All the servos are in, just balancing and programming left. First flight probably next weekend.

The supplied connectors ( see photos ) for the wing servos are a bit of a leap of faith but they seem to work well. They mean that you can use a really short servo arm and still get plenty of movement without fouling the output shaft. You could do the same by grinding down a metal clevis, but the supplied links seem to work just fine and are easy to install.

The aileron and flap horns are pre-installed. You'll need to whittle away some of the surrounding reinforcement and/or grind some off the clevis away to get full movement. The whole wing servo installation is really well thought out - one of the best I've seen. The channel for the pushrod is ready opened up and achieving a wholly internal installation is quick and easy.
